Does the NXI backup file contain the version?

[gormank]

I'm looking at some old backup zipped tar files and need to know what version of NXI was backed up. This is so I can install the same version and then restore the backup.
Can the backed up version of NXI be determined from the files in the backup?

The mysql/nagiosxi.sql MySQL dump should contain it, an alternative would be the /usr/local/nagiosxi/var/xi-sys.cfg in the nagiosxi.tar.gz file.

You could extract it, cd into the extracted directory and then run one of these:

- I would trust this one more as it's from the DB

Code: Select all

grep -Po "install_version','[\d\.]+'" mysql/nagiosxi.sql

OR:

Code: Select all

tar -axf nagiosxi.tar.gz usr/local/nagiosxi/var/xi-sys.cfg -O | grep xiver

Thanks, that's what I was looking for.

No problem, glad to help! I have submit a feature-request to development requesting they add the version in the root of to the backup file for easier identification:

FR: XI - Add XI version to the root of the backup file for easy identification when extracting

Let us know when we're okay to lock this up and mark it as resolved.
